Scouts (10½–14)
Sea Scouting has the same purpose and goals as any other Scout Troop, however the main difference lies in the method of delivery.
This is because in Sea Scouting, water and nautical activities are used as the basis of delivering the Balanced Programme. Although most Scouts have the opportunity for boating activities, such as sailing and canoeing, the Sea Scout programme puts considerable emphasis on water activities and also incorporates many aspects of naval and nautical traditions.
Each Scout Troop consists of small units called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently including camping. Throughout the year, Sea Scouts learn various skills, which will help them with their many activities and throughout their lives.
Our Scouts spend a lot of time canoeing and kayaking on the canal, and have a very successful record in the annual Scottish Scout Regatta which is held in September each year with Troops from all over Scotland taking part.
Before each Scout is invested in to the Section, even if they have been a Cub, they must gain their Scout Membership Award.
Here are the things you need to do to get the award.
The promise shown is the standard one taken, however there are a number of alternatives that can be used for people who have different faiths or beliefs. All are welcome in Scouting.
The Scout Promise
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and to the Queen,
To help other people
And to keep the Scout Law
